  • On the upside at least he must think my lock is secure enough to lock his piece of string through. On the downside it's a pain in the ass to then have to include his lock in when I've locked my bike in there. Sooo tempting not to.

    Dunno what is up with the massive photo...

  • ^ i bought one of those tiny locks to put myself over the free delivery threshold at planet-x as they were still cheaper than paying the p&p.

    I'm fairly certain I could pull it apart with my bare hands. no security whatsoever.

    I had one locked around a bike i was working on, i just got a long flat bar, put it through the lock and yanked it, snapped straight away

  • I got one of those locks when I bought a bike of eBay, told the guy what I thought about it... Whilst putting the bike in the garage the lock caught on the garage door and snapped.
